About Joanne

Joanne Brooks helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship or family problems. She is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. Joanne aims to make it easier to talk about painful things and to take first steps towards change.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak freely about their thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs rather than following a rigid formula. Joanne uses a client-centred approach. That means she listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people feel heard and understood.

She works with people on a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues and coping with life changes. Her practice also supports people dealing with complex presentations such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, dissociation and co-morbidity, and she attends to relational issues like communication, commitment and attachment.

She can discuss blended family dynamics and parenting stresses as well as career and anger-related concerns. Joanne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. That association is listed in her professional details.

She offers sessions in English and meets clients by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed after selecting the Start Therapy button, and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability. Subscriptions are used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working Joanne names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred approaches and online care

Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person set the pace. It is useful when someone needs a safe place to talk about grief, anxiety, trauma or relationship struggles and wants the therapist to follow their lead.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide how to proceed. That collaborative planning helps match methods to practical needs rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls are good when face-to-face contact matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need more flexibility in timing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while keeping the focus on starting small and making steady progress.
